  4. "Spirit" - what is it?

    funny, that's pretty much what spirit is... subjective, "something" that is not "something" we can point to or directly refer. Spirit is not a "thing" as much as it is the product of all verbs... not a verb in and of itself, but exists through what is happening. the spirit of a person, the spirit of a group, the spirit of the tao bums, the spirit of the world... the spirit can only be "seen" by not looking.

  7. Hide & Seek

    Quite simple actually. leave the thread here for about a week... let people join the game, just put your name on the list. and once we have at least 5 people playing, we'll draw straws or something and pick who is "it". "it" proceeds to wait 1 or 2 days while everyone finds a place to write in (HIDING) in someone's feed. For example, me : http://thetaobums.com/user/54305-stoner-shadow-wolf/ Under Feed i typed (Hiding) "it" comes in and posts "Found you!" and i come back to the thread an mark my name off the list. I guess whoever is found first gets to be "it" or we randomly select every time? I didnt think that part otu well enough, did i? uh oh... OH WELL I DONT CARE! Round 1: HNJT

  10. Fibbonacci Haiku

    This is actually a fairly simple mathematical equation which continually adds from the last equation, based on the information in the last equation itself-adding the larger numbers and acting like "sloping" exponents, not as steep of a climb per cycle. pattern so far is 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... continue on ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ___________________________________________________________________________ Hi. I am. This is me. Welcome to my thread. It exists to express ourselves. Each consecutive sentence is built upon the last. Now, can anyone please tell me how many syllables go into the next sentence? ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

  14. Secret of the Golden Flower

    wait what? see the light? Nah, I doubt that's what I saw seems similar though, but I didn't stop my heart I merely slowed my breathing for about 30 minutes until i was roughly between 2 breaths per minute and 1 BPM. I then contemplated the idea of pure invisible light and eventually came to shards and beams and waves and fractals of light in a complexity i cannot begin to describe except as being an infinite scale of all forms of geometry in one single piece, yet without form. As it kind of "flickered" to a vision of my perspective of my room where i sat... except my eyes were closed. Opening of them was disorienting.
  15. Meditation is not a good way for practising

    it is as though reading my own words from another time In the end, how things change, always fascinating Observation is an interesting skill used so frequently by most, and yet without necessarily realizing how much deeper it can go... what directions it can go! (I am missing the ability to insert a paragraph here, windows 7 is fine, but 8 makes it a burdensome block of text) I have to ask you though, what about those who keep coming back knowingly and willingly? Returning to the ""killing energy of artificial polluted deluded existence"" over and over, even having the will to let go, truly even letting go each life, to willingly return in spite of enlightening yourself and even others, knowing and retaining the source of innate living awareness always.... Still returning... don't have to, don't need to. don't always even want to, but for what? I wonder...

  20. Religion is the poison of Spirituality

    because they are unable or unwilling to understand that it really and truly does not matter. It doesnt matter if we are pure holy righteousness or pure unholy evil, ir does not matter if we live for one hundred trillion eons or live for one hundred trillion nanoseconds, it does not matter if our loved ones were murdered or dyed naturally, the universe isnt going to stop and worry about any one little thing, as all things are the whole ONE thing and it will continue on in spite of EVERYTHING. At this point, argument, war, conflict... it seems so besides the point.
  21. Webomicssss

    OH i love LFG forgot about it completely! On an unrelated note, here i am just staring at this page: http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20111223 And all i can think is "where do i find that bedding??"
  22. Religion is the poison of Spirituality

    ET: Isnt dualistic balance Absolute Harmony? If i were to desire any absolutes, i would be missing the one i am experiencing every moment of every moment of every moment! Why worry? It's jsut semantics anyways. Wu Wei is a good way to let go of the worries.

    LFG? I dunno, is that a spinoff? Anyways: http://leasticoulddo.../comic/20110301 Only one part?
  24. Religion is the poison of Spirituality

    I suppose you and I have very differing opinions here, et... I do believe that there is an ultimate authority which is the being of all truth(s), and furthermore that we are all this being, but are behind an illusory separation from this divine self. Until our illusions are lifted, and/or we are reunited with the whleness of the untimate authority, we cannot truly possess knowing of true truths, only the elements of our physical senses. WE CAN know what our senses tell us, literally, but we CANNOT know what our senses were truly derrived from, except in comparison to those senses themselves, whioch is in and of itself dilusional. Religion cannot tell us what s true and false, nor can it tell us what is right and wrong, good or evil, or how to distinguish "God" from "Devil". In my spiritual beliefs and practices, I've done away with "versus". Duality is not much good for anythign except descriptive writing God versus Devil? NO! Balance and Harmony of Tao! Black will look white when viewed from a darker blackness... God will look like the devil from the view of greater good than god. Again, wordplay and no essence, as "greater than god" is a verbal fallacy in contrast to teh concept that god is the greatest good. "est" a finalization, does not exist except in transition in the contrast o eternity and infinite. If god is infinite good, then god is never stationary, always moving, always becoming "more good", and that means that god must make progress, which suggests that there is more than god, which is verally contradictive to "god is the greatest". So obviously ,i am to throw all of that away and not tie knots in my mind with the silliness of duality.
